I've been a user since they first split from Netscape. Very happy to see continued efforts in this project. Congrats folks! I'm glad you exist. Related: I don't know if this applies to other platforms, but the newest version of FireFox on FreeBSD (79.0,1) generates errors on every website you visit stating insufficient security. (including google & mozilla.org) This is somehow related to not having a virus scanner installed or something. This is the about:config setting to disable that: network.http.spdy.enabled.http2=false

I'm running the same version of Firefox on FreeBSD (firefox-79.0,1) and I don't see this (with http2=true). I'm running 13-current (r363668) and using the 12-stable quarterly packages (FreeBSD:12:amd64/quarterly)

  I'm running 12.1-RELEASE-p5 [quarterly], so that's interesting. We should be overlapping somewhat. I inclined to believe that it's just my luck. You need somebody to find edge-case bugs? I'm your stooge.

    If you'd like the Firefox team to investigate that issue further, I imagine they'd certainly welcome a bug filed about it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Firefox&component=General https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Firefox&c...

    I hear that. The latest update to kde / plasma5 changed something enough that it took me 4 logins before I got a task manager. Dealing with these these super disruptive / breaking kde changes only a few times a year are why I run the stable packages rather than the -current packages. I think I'm just going to give up and switch to lxde

      Not to be too much of an old-fart, but I gave up on kde after they moved away from 3.5. I've tried every major release since 4 came out and I keep not liking it. I do really enjoy some of the apps, but I'm fully in the i3 camp for several years now.
